Raya Hols Part II

I've always liked jungle trekking with the exception of one thing... LEECHES!!! Seriously hate those blood suckers!! And there were lots of them when I went jungle trekking for Rafflesia in Gopeng... Sucky bucky man!
First stop, we got to see stick insect.. Can you spot it?

Can you see the 'sticky' fella?


It looks something like this laa...

Along the way, we met lots of blood suckers and other cool plants..

This is a wild ginger flower.. Pretty eh? :)


This is called 'Daun Tapak Hantu' where they get the idea from??


Meet Mr. Millipede :)


Rajah Brookes


Freezing cold river water.. Brrrr

After an hour of hiking on flat ground and up the hill we finally arrived at the place and this is what we saw..

Behold! The Bunga Rafflesia :)

This is a different kind of species, so it's smaller in size and does not stink at all.. Amazing eh?!

All in all I had a really good time and it was a great experience for me! Now I can say "Been there, done that!" :)
